If you are an artist, and you don't Feel like your community supports you,You NEED to do something about it.

Move to LA? Move to Portland? Move to NYC? ahahhaha.NO. god.That is not going to accomplish anything for most of us.You'll only feel like a smaller fish, and probably spiral even further intolonliness, confusion, hatred for all the dumbfucks that don't understand orseem to give a fuck about what you are doing.

You stay and you make a difference.Make Sacramento better.We have so so so much talent right here. right now.Its a small scene. but a good one. It needs to be bigger tobe self supporting.

The Prescription for a Healthy Art Scene helps you understandwhat needs to be focused on outside you and your studio.

A year ago I read this and fell in love.He did it.Renny put the answers on paper.As an artist who lives so much in a visual, physical world whereI primarily communicate what I want to saythrough images and physical gestures,I've struggled to find words to express how to takeart from a personal, private experience and expressionto one that can be felt and shared.

I decided to create an art show that involved local visual and audio artiststo collaborate on silk screening shirts .I have been collage style printing on clothing for a long time.I had my first experience making a livingas an artist when I started a small labelcalled Pretty Trashy in 2003.

This Prescription project will be the ultimate collage.I love working with other artists.The people are the live, essential elements that bring their owntalents, ideas, and energy into the work.Like members of a band, each person adds necessary ingredientsto the art, ultimately making it more interesting and stronger.

(hopefully. i will not hang your shirt if i thinkit looks like shit. knowing how to use thetools and manipulate the materials in addition to basicdesign intuition should be adequate for this project)

Each artist illustrates one of the 24 ( it was 23 ) phrases from the Prescription.Those drawings are burned onto silk screens and we all get togetherand have a printing party and make really amazing pieces of art (one of a kind hand printed shirts)for the show at the new Bows and Arrows gallery.

People can buy the shirts and the money goes to the artists that made them.

Fibers.com is helping support by adding a Prescription shop page to their custom t-shirtprinting website so that people who live outside of Sacramento can support our artists and spread awareness. Every fucking city needs a healthier art scene.( I think Fibers.com is a good choice because they are basedin Midtown Sacramento at the URBAN HIVE. support localeverything as often as possible. )
